CLEANSING COMPOSITION.

No Drawing.

To (all 20 7mm it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. GiLLETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tillamook, in the county of Tillamook and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cleansing Coinpositions, of which the following is specilication.

This invention relates to a new composi 10 tion of matter adapted to be employedfor cleansingpurposes.

The composition provides a cleanser which is of such a nature that the ingredients thereof exert a scouring action on the sur- 7 faces upon which the composition is used, but, at the same time, does not damage the surface and it may therefore be used on aluminum ware, granite ware, and even on the hands for readily removing grease and stains.

The composition is also not only capable of use with warm water but with cold water and even salt water and the hardness and softness of the water does not in the least eifect the efficiency of the composition as a cleansing agent.

The composition contains ingredients which tend to soften the skin and exert a healing influence.

In preparing the composition, the ingredients which consist of sand, water, soap chips and pine tar, are combined in about the following proportions:

Application filed April 17, 1920.

Serial No. 374,730.

Sand 66% WVater 18% 36 Soap chips 14% Pine tar 2% The ingredients are thoroughly mixed until the soap is softened to salve-like consistency and the pine tar is then added and the composition allowed to stand until it has congealed to a permanent jelly, after which it is ready for usel In use, the sand, which is preferably of a very fine grade, having particles of balllikeform, rolls along the surface to be cleaned under the scouring action and the particles of dirt moved thereby are taken up by the combined soap and tar.

It is also of course to be understood that suitable coloring matter and perfumeessence may be added to the composition to impart a pleasing appearance and fragrance. V V V It'is to be understood that the consistency of the finished product maybe varied in the making by changing the proportions of the ingredients.

I claim: so

A cleansing composition consisting of a soft paste-like mixture of sand 66%, water 18%, soap 1t%, and pine tar 2%.

In testimony, whereof I aflix my signature.
